Lebanon and Israel have been at odds for a long time over the territorial, political and ethnic aspects. The Middle East has always been a place of war, and in countless wars, the Palestine Liberation Organization and Palestinian refugees, after the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, occupied all Palestinian land and poured into neighboring Lebanon.
Due to its geographical location and history, Lebanon's religion is diverse, mainly Sunni, Druze, Shia, Christian, Maronite, Greek Catholic, Greek Orthodox and so on.
The influx of Palestine Liberation Groups and refugees into Lebanon was supported by Lebanese Muslims, but was opposed by Christians, who even became involved in Lebanon's domestic struggle, taking control of the capital, Beirut, and southern Lebanon, and forming military installations.
The Palestinian liberation guerrillas assisted Syria and Egypt in attacking Israeli military bases and installations, which disturbed Israel and decided to launch a military attack to dismantle the Palestine Liberation Organization, thus breaking out the Fifth War in the Middle East, also known as the Lebanese War.
After the Lebanese war, Israel, Syria, and the Palestine Liberation Organization were all badly damaged. Not only did an anti-war movement break out in Israel itself, but the Israeli army also suffered more than 2,000 casualties. The Syrian army suffered more than 1,000 casualties, and the Palestine Liberation Organization suffered the heaviest casualties, with more than 3,000 dead and wounded.
After a recuperation, a new round of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict broke out in October 2023, with Allah Lebanon, which supports Hamas (Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement), launching attacks on northern Israel in southern Lebanon every once in a while, and Israel retaliating in the form of artillery and air strikes in southern Lebanon. The conflict between the two sides has been waged on the border between Israel and Lebanon to this day.
As of early June 2024, Israel killed a senior Allah commander, the largest rocket response from Allah since the border clashes. In mid-June, key figures in Lebanese Allah rockets and missiles were shot dead by Israel, after which Israel approved a military operation plan in Lebanon and Allah began to deploy defenses. It feels like a big war is about to break out.
In such a tense situation, embassies have also issued warnings to their local citizens to evacuate the area as soon as possible. The Chinese Embassy in Lebanon reminds its citizens that if there is an emergency in the area, they must contact the Chinese Embassy in Lebanon as soon as possible to facilitate the subsequent rescue and assistance work.
As a warmonger, the United States is very honest in its body, although it shouts that it hopes that the two sides will sit down and talk and resolve the conflict through dialogue. According to a US official, the United States has not ruled out releasing the 500-pound bombs that had been halted to Israel in May. The leader of the Lebanese Allah Party responded that Allah had new weapons and the ability to obtain intelligence and was prepared for the worst.
You must know that there is a big difference between Allah in Lebanon and Hamas, which belongs to the guerrilla forces. Lebanon's Allah party has a lot of precision weapons and missiles and rockets. Israel is well aware of the military strength of Allah, and if a large-scale war breaks out with Lebanon again, Israel itself may suffer heavy damage, although it has the support of the United States, but the war is fought on itself, and it hurts itself.
There are also differences of opinion within Israel about the war in Lebanon. There is a big difference of opinion between the Israeli Ministry of the Interior and the Ministry of Defense on whether Israel is ready to evacuate the civilian population if the war in Lebanon begins to escalate. The problems posed by Allah will not be completely solved by the outbreak of a full-scale war between Israel and Lebanon.
